2017, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Medicine, and PathologyCitation Excerpt :Other features commonly found include distinct facial characteristics, such as ear lobe creases, posterior helical ear pits, facial naves flames, neonatal hypoglycaemia, organomegaly, renal abnormalities and hemihypertrophy [1,5]. In BWS 80–99% of these patients have macroglossia, which is defined as a resting tongue that protrudes beyond the teeth or alveolar ridge [6–8]. Depending upon the degree of severity, macroglossia can lead to complications involving feeding and respiration in infancy.

2014, American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial OrthopedicsCitation Excerpt :Macroglossia is defined as a resting tongue that protrudes beyond the teeth or the alveolar ridge.3,4,6,7 Although BWS is highly variable with regard to clinical presentation, macroglossia is the most consistent symptom and is evident in 80% to 99% of patients.1,14-16 A logical approach to preventing or correcting the effects of macroglossia is performing a glossectomy, preferably before problems in speech development occur,17 but not before the patient is 6 months old.18
